Who can we turn to for support?

Sometimes, we all need some extra support to keep ourselves mentally healthy.

There are local and national groups available to support you and your family when those tricky moments arise.

Early Help

In Devon, the early help system is made up of different agencies working together to enable families to manage their own dilemmas and solve their own problems, making whatever changes are necessary to secure the well-being of their children.

Devon’s new EH4MH service aims to improve access to mental health support.

Their aim is to improve access to direct support for young people.

Another key aim is to provide DCC school staff with regular access to psycho-education in various forms, including mental health consultation, clinical supervision and training.

Young Devon has been helping young people across the county since 1949. Our experienced teams offer confidential help and advice to young people and their parents and carers across a range of issues. So if you need some help or just want to talk to someone who can give you impartial advice; we are here to help.
